Abstract:

Beginning approximately coincident with the advent of the global HIV pandemic, a growing number of qualitative and quantitative epidemiological studies have investigated the phenomenon of the injection of illicit psychoactive substances by individuals held within correctional settings. Empirical studies reveal that incarceration is a common experience for people who use illicit drugs, and injection while incarcerated (IWI) is an unintended if widespread consequence of the prohibition-based approach to regulating psychoactive drugs.

Abstract:

Malaysia treats the problem of drug addiction as a security issue. Since it was identified in the early 70s, the number of drug addicts is constantly on the rise. At present, the government provides all statistics pertaining to the number of drug users, abusers and addicts in the country.The monograph contains the full report that was submitted to the Ministry of Health and WHO-WPR. It reports the national data for drug addiction for the year 2002, and a detailed description of the methodology used to arrive at the estimates.

Abstract:

Health services research is a practically focused discipline drawing on the social and behavioral sciences and concerned with the organization, financing, and delivery of services. Investigators studying HIV services examine how well healthcare and other systems meet needs, eliminate disparities, integrate services, eliminate barriers, and provide care to socially marginal and stigmatized individuals, such as injection drug users and people who are incarcerated. These issues have been important from the earliest days of the HIV epidemic and have taken on increased significance as efficacious t

Abstract:

A corollary of the high proportion of people who inject drugs cycling through prisons worldwide is the accompanying high prevalence of viral hepatitis, particularly hepatitis C (HCV). Prisons have the potential to either escalate or interrupt the transmission of viral hepatitis: prisons that do not provide access to even basic prevention programs are high-risk environments for viral hepatitis transmission. In contrast, prisons can also reduce prevalence through testing and treatment programs. This chapter provides an overview of the global prevalence and incidence of HCV and hepatitis B (HBV)

This chapter covers patient-specific issues related to children, older people, injecting drug users, and surgical patients. For children, drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and dose calculations are reviewed. The specific concerns around adherence and also medicines licensing in children are covered. For older people, the topics include pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetics, and medication review. Guidance is given on managing injecting drug users, especially in an in-patient setting, including a suggested regimen for titration of methadone to avoid opioid withdrawal. For surgical patient

Abstract:

Globally more than 10.2 million people are held in prisons on any given day, of whom 10% to 48% of males and 30% to 60% of females are estimated to be drug-dependent. Rates of incarceration for people with drug-related problems have increased in the past couple of decades. The preponderance of people who use or inject drugs in prisons, high rates of drug-related harm in prison and after release, and the high level of re-incarceration among drug users after release from prison are the main reasons for providing drug treatment in prisons. This chapter provides an overview of the rationale for pr

Abstract:

Drug use and crime seem inextricably linked. Law enforcement responses to drug use tend to funnel people who use drugs into the criminal justice system rather than treatment, and those drug users who are imprisoned often have multiple, co-occurring mental health problems and/or suffer from infectious diseases including HIV, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis. Prisons provide a rare but regrettable opportunity to identify and respond to these needs, but correctional policies with respect to drug use and related harms often diverge from the evidence. Where such responses are evidence-based, they are

Abstract:

Interventions intended to minimize the harms of injecting drug use, particularly drug overdose and exposure to blood-borne viruses, have a long history of implementation in some community settings but are frequently unavailable in prisons. The denial of harm reduction measures to prisoners who inject drugs violates their right to non-discriminatory healthcare, as well as other facets of international human rights law. Evidence is available from several programs in diverse settings which demonstrates that it is possible to implement many harm reduction interventions in prisons, that such progra

Abstract:

In 2017, late Tanzanian president John Magufuli publicly declared a war on drug users in Tanzania, an unprecedented change in policy in a country leading harm reduction initiatives in East Africa. In the fall of 2018, Dane Degenstein traveled to Dar es Salaam to learn about these policy changes from those directly impacted. The War on Drugs in Tanzania: Prohibition and Punishment examines the impact of crackdowns on people who use drugs and the impact of policy changes that curtail progressive and humane approaches to improving services for drug users. Degenstein explores how the Tanzanian gov

Abstract:

There are huge differences between custody and freedom. In the former, life is dominated by the rhythm of the "total institution of prison" (Goffman), whereas, in the latter, it remains relatively self-determined—even in the case of drug dependency. How can the transition from one to the other be organised in such a way that people who are dependent on drugs suffer the least damage? This volume provides both answers to that question and examples of good practice in this respect: the requirements and strategies of drug users when they are released from prison current practice in treating prison

Abstract:

The Oxford Handbook of Ethnographies of Crime and Criminal Justice provides critical and current reviews of key research topics, issues, and debates that crime ethnographers have been grappling with for over a century. Despite its long and distinguished history in the social sciences, ethnographies in criminology are still relatively rare. Over the years, however, ethnographers in the United States and abroad have amassed an impressive body of work on core criminological topics and groups, including gang members, sex workers, drug dealers, and drug users.
